    I didn't give up, the school I was attending had completely crap computer science program. The networks class was a HTML/CSS and PHP website. The other schools in my area for compu…

    I'm with you, once I realized how much anxiety and self-loathing I experienced when on social media yet I was so addicted to it that I couldn't stop. I tore that band aid off, dele…

    Maybe in the future, yes, but it's an iterative process to solve something big like robocalls. I haven't read too much about this yet but I would imagine there is some method of re…

    That's going to take a lot of processing power to be able to handle their amount of customers on a single domain. Even loadbalanced behind the domain to multiple servers, even runn…
